Spelling snob

I am a horrible, terrible, awful spelling snob.  As I say this, I am thinking, "Watch.  I'll end up spelling something wrong in this post."  It makes my teeth grind anytime I see something in print spelled incorrectly.  I can't stand it.  My husband is a grammar snob, yet, a horrible speller.  I told him that it is really the same thing.  It makes the person seem uneducated, the only difference being one is in print....for EVERYONE to see. 

My poor son has developed his father's spelling habits, and it drives him, and I, crazy every time I have to correct something he's written.  He doesn't think it's a big deal.  But, oh my, he's such an intelligent child.  And to see him write something that makes him look ignorant makes me cringe.   Just cringe.  I'm not usually as bad when it comes to non-family members, but I saw an advertisement the other day that just sent my head spinning.

We were walking into a restaurant and there was an advertisement for a daycare posted by the door.   It was cute and fun looking, and seemed to have a lot of thought put into it.  Then I read this.  "Licensed daycare.  SIEDA approved meals and snakes served daily."  SNAKES!!!!!!  Seriously!  Snakes.  I can only assume it was supposed to say "snacks".  At least, I hope!
